Disease
[RENI_HUMAN] Defects in REN are a cause of renal tubular dysgenesis (RTD) [MIM:267430]. RTD is an autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).[1] Defects in REN are the cause of familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy type 2 (HNFJ2) [MIM:613092]. It is a renal disease characterized by juvenile onset of hyperuricemia, slowly progressive renal failure and anemia.[2]
Function
[RENI_HUMAN] Renin is a highly specific endopeptidase, whose only known function is to generate angiotensin I from angiotensinogen in the plasma, initiating a cascade of reactions that produce an elevation of blood pressure and increased sodium retention by the kidney.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The binding modes of three peptidomimetic P2-P3 butanediamide renin inhibitors have been determined by x-ray crystallography. The inhibitors are bound with their backbones in an extended conformation, and their side chains occupying the S5 to S1' pockets. A (2-amino-4-thiazolyl)methyl side chain at the P2 position shows stronger hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions with renin than the His side chain, which is present in the natural substrate. The ACHPA-gamma-lactam transition state analog has similar interactions with renin as the dihydroxyethylene transition state analog.
